The Cookson (Sydney Sun)
articles are the most sought after and difficult
documents to find relevant to the siege at Glenrowan. The wealth of information
that they provide has been only available to a handful of persons. (until
recently)
The bulk of those keen to learn more about the story of Glenrowan have had to
go without this fabulous text.
Here are 5 Sunday editions, they are unedited, copied
exactly as it was written.
Cookson visited Glenrowan and interviewed people involved with
the siege.
My favourite
one is his interview with Mrs. Jones.
**Thank you very much to Nicole Jones who was kind enough to share these
Sunday editions with all of us, and to Sharon Hollingsworth for typing them.
